Then there’s the popularity of the Weighted Companion Cube – it’s insane. How do you go about creating a plastic box that everyone falls in love with?

That was all our project lead, Kim Swift. It was her idea to put a heart on it. Boom – instantly likeable.

LOL!

“we sat down as a group to decide what philosopher [...] our game would be based on. That was followed by about fifteen minutes of silence and then someone mentioned that a lot of people like cake.”

xD I just love the logic in that. It`s a good thing people like that are producing games, it always contains something we all like.

I didn’t know of him before either – and yep, I’m with everyone else. He’s apparently completely mental. Still, Portal was good. As for writing for games, I’m sure it’s not that hard.
